Bradley, Uhm, isn't Sendmail's SMTP-over-SSL thing supposed to conform to some standard..? I seriously doubt the other endpoint has to be Sendmail; rather, I think it probably only needs to be running a proper SMTP-over-SSL implementation. If this is the case, then this can be done with stunnel and your favorite MTA. (mine being qmail... why doesn't everyone use qmail..?)
